What are the three major islands in Thailand?

The three major islands in Thailand are Phuket, Elephant Island and Koh Samui.

First of all, Phuket

Phuket (Thai:; English: Phuket, located in the southeast of the Andaman Sea in the Indian Ocean, is the only island in Thailand that has been granted provincial status. The environment on the island is pure and it is a famous holiday island. Phuket covers an area of 576 square kilometers and has a population of 6.5438+0.75 million (in 2004), which belongs to the tropical monsoon climate.

The main agricultural products in Phuket are rubber, coconut, cashew nuts and pineapple. In addition, there are shrimp farms and artificial pearl farms in the east and south of Phuket, but tourism is still the first source of income in Phuket. Phuket is connected to the Andaman coast in southern Thailand by a bridge.

Second, Elephant Island

Elephant Island, located in the southeast of Thailand, is the second largest island in Thailand, covering an area of 429 square kilometers, 70% of which is covered by virgin rainforest. The island is under the jurisdiction of the land-based Datuk government.

There are 52 small islands around Elephant Island, 47 of which, together with Elephant Island, have been designated as national marine parks with a total area of 650 square kilometers. As a tourist attraction with tropical island scenery, Elephant Island is well known to the world. There are less than 654.38+100000 residents in Xiangdao, who are engaged in tourism or fishing.

Three. Koh Samui

Koh Samui, with an area of 228.7 square kilometers and a population of 50,000, is rich in coconut trees. Koh Samui is 84 kilometers away from Frye and belongs to a real island nation. Koh Samui is located about 560 kilometers south of Bangkok. Twenty years ago, no tourists came to disturb the dense coconut groves and quiet fishing villages here.

It was not until several western tourists boarded wooden boats from Bangkok to transport coconuts that the news that Koh Samui had beautiful beaches spread like wildfire. Thailand, meaning "King of Thailand", is one of the powerful Buddhist countries in the world. The Buddhist temples here are exquisite and beautiful, with strong oriental colors.

Beautiful and charming subtropical scenery, profound Buddhist culture and unique folk customs make Thailand famous at home and abroad, attracting tourists from all over the world to visit.

Matters needing attention in island tourism in Thailand

1. When swimming in a safe area, pay attention to the color of the flag. You should swim in the swimming area blocked by buoys. Swimming in deep water, rough seas and rocky areas is strictly prohibited.

Pay attention to the color of the national flag, for example, the yellow flag means that swimming alone is strictly prohibited. If it is a red flag, it means danger. If there are two red flags, this area is very dangerous.

It is forbidden to swim after meals and when the weather is hot. Because it may lead to stomach cramps and drowning. Take a rest 1 hour after eating, swim in a safe swimming area, slowly enter the water, and adjust your body state to adapt to the water temperature.

Wear life jacket or rubber band to prevent drowning. Swimming near motorboats is strictly prohibited. This may be hit by a boat or paddle, resulting in injury or death.

Children are forbidden to swim alone. Parents should take close care of their children, and don't let them leave their sight, so as not to save themselves safely when they are hit by waves or have convulsions.
